Darryl and Jason my thought are with you and your families at this trying time. Your dad was a wonderful spirit. We all had wonderful times with he and your mom on our hockey trips. He will be missed by all. May all of your happy memories get you through and bring smiles to your faces again.

Daryl, Jason & families-
My heartfelt condolences to you and your families. My mom and dad met at your parents wedding and your mom and dad were selected as my Godparents as a result of this. Together they always supported me with love and friendship and I will never forget their kindness and generosity. Your dad had a kind heart but a firm handshake and was a mentor to many kids in South Hadley, me included. I will miss him dearly and remember him fondly. Take a piece of comfort...

I remember as a kid, Kirby pulling into our driveway in his cruiser to talk & hang out with my dad. This was a regular occurrence! What a nice, genuine man. My dad and all of us will miss him terribly.

To the wonderful family of the Kirbys. My families deepest sympathy goes out to you all. I met Dick one day at the Lil peach in Chicopee, not too long ago, he was playing Keno. We had a good laugh when he asked me how are those tomato plants growing, if you know what I mean. He was a special police officer in the town of South Hadley. He understood the citizens of this town and where they were coming from didn't see any prejudices from him. Speaking for my wife's family the Jagodowskis...
